Archeage

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination delivers measured performance in Archeage, a 2014 MMORPG. The CPU's launch MSRP is $199, and the GPU's launch MSRP is 499 USD. In this database, the combo ranks 1041 out of 1727 tested combinations, placing it in the upper half of results. Measured average frame rates range from 20 FPS at 4K Ultra to 140.9 FPS at 1080p Low, with a wide spread across resolution and quality settings.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 3600 is a six-core, twelve-thread processor built on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its 65 W TDP and 32 MB shared L3 cache are notable, but for Archeage the relevant numbers come from the measured FPS. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 140.9 FPS, a figure that suggests the CPU is not the primary constraint at lower graphical loads. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 2562 and 3DMark single-thread score of 696 indicate moderate single-core throughput; its multi-thread scores (3DMark 16-thread: 4605, PassMark multithread: 17700) show strong scaling across its twelve threads. In Archeage, however, the frame rates at 1080p Medium (129.7 FPS) and 1080p High (89.1 FPS) drop more sharply, implying that as settings rise, the GPU becomes more involved. The CPU's percentile ranking of 76 (compared to all CPUs) places it above average, and its average benchmark score of 18129 is within 0.1% of the Intel Core i5-11400 (deltaPct -0.1) and 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (deltaPct 0.2). This near-parity with modern mid-range parts suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p for this title, though the exact game engine behavior cannot be isolated from the measured combo data.

Q: What is the GPU's average benchmark score and its closest rival?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 22206, placing it 0.5% below the NVIDIA RTX A400 (deltaPct -0.5) and 2.5% above the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (deltaPct 2.5).

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear inverse relationship between resolution and frame rate across all settings. At High settings, the combo delivers 89.1 FPS at 1920x1080, 58.3 FPS at 2560x1440, and 34.2 FPS at 3840x2160. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 30.8 FPS (a 34.6% reduction), while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 24.1 FPS (a 41.3% reduction). This pattern indicates that the GPU is the dominant limiting factor as pixel count increases; the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are taxed heavily at 4K. At Low settings, the same resolution scaling yields 140.9, 94.1, and 53.2 FPS respectively. The absolute drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low is 46.8 FPS, which is larger than the 30.8 FPS drop at High. This suggests that at Low settings, where the GPU workload is reduced, the CPU's contribution becomes more visible; the Ryzen 5 3600's single-thread performance (PassMark single-thread 2562) is sufficient to sustain high frame rates, but the GPU still bottlenecks at 4K even on Low. The Ultra preset shows the most severe scaling: 58.9 FPS at 1080p, 41.1 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 20 FPS is the lowest measured value in the dataset, confirming that the combination is not viable for 4K Ultra play in Archeage. The data indicates that the 1440p High setting (58.3 FPS) is the practical upper bound for smooth gameplay, while 1080p High (89.1 FPS) offers a comfortable margin.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of 1727 tested combinations for Archeage, this combo holds rank 1041. That places it in the 60th percentile of all tested systems, meaning 686 combos perform worse and 1040 perform better. The rank reflects the combined influence of the CPU and GPU, but the measured FPS at different settings suggests the GPU is the primary driver of the ranking. The RTX 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 22206 places it at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU's 76th percentile among all CPUs is higher. This imbalance indicates that the GPU is the weaker link in this pairing, which is consistent with the resolution scaling pattern: at 1080p Low, where the CPU has headroom, the combo reaches 140.9 FPS, but at 4K Ultra it falls to 20 FPS. The combo's rank of 1041 is not exceptional, but it is solidly above the median. When compared to the nearest rivals for each component, the CPU's performance is within 0.3% of the AMD EPYC 9274F (deltaPct -0.3) and the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (deltaPct -0.2), while the GPU sits 2.3% below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (deltaPct -2.3) and 0.9% above the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (deltaPct 0.9). These deltas are small, indicating that the combo's placement is not driven by an unusually weak or strong individual part, but rather by the inherent balance of this mid-range 2019 pairing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU104 chip, featuring 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Its base clock is 1605 MHz and boost clock is 1770 MHz, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's average benchmark score of 22206 places it at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, and its PassMark G3D score of 18169 reflects strong rasterization performance. In Archeage, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 1080p High, the combo produces 89.1 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited given the CPU's high percentile; at 4K High, the FPS drops to 34.2, a clear sign of GPU saturation. The GPU's 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at all settings, but at 4K Ultra the frame rate collapses to 20 FPS, suggesting that memory bandwidth or compute capacity is insufficient for the highest load. The RTX 2070 SUPER's predecessor is the GeForce 10 series and its successor is the GeForce 30 series, but its Turing architecture supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, which are relevant for modern APIs. The GPU's nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, has an average score of 22307, just 0.5% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 sits 2.5% lower. This tight clustering indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is a well-balanced mid-range card, but in Archeage it cannot overcome the demands of 4K Ultra, as evidenced by the 20 FPS result. For users targeting 1440p High or 1080p Ultra, the GPU delivers playable frame rates (58.3 and 58.9 FPS respectively), making it a reasonable match for the Ryzen 5 3600 in this specific title.
